I have a list of results from a user's search and I want the user to be able to re-order them
as they wish. It is simple enough to pre-sort the queryset on the backend, in views.py which is what every Google
search brings up on the topic. But I need to have this done by the user. On the frontend. This is
usually done with a dropdown with options allowing alphabetical sort A-Z or sort by date added or so on.
I can't find an answer with Google search or a single tutorial that covers it, yet I see it used almost everywhere.
Does the solution involve ajax? How would I use ajax to do it? Is there a py module that does this in Django?
I am rendering the search results something like this
{% for stor in stories %}
<div>
<span class="story_block stock_bg">
<a href="{{stor.get_absolute_url}}">
<div class="story_con_block">
<p class="s_t">{{stor.title}}</p>
<p>by <strong>{{stor.author.username}}</strong></p>
<p>{{stor.summary}}</p>
</div>
</a>
</span>
</div>
{% endfor %}
It can be done with javascript if you are rendering the list with javascript. as javascript can manipulate the DOM , so you can sort it with javascript code and add click event to these sorting functions

I've got a blog. Each blog-posts can have multiple downloads. For the downloads I created a component downloads
Currently I render them at the end of each post like this:
{{#each download in sortedDownloads }}
<p>
<a class="dl-button" {{ action "incDownload" download }}>
{{ download.name }} ({{ download.size}}MB)
</a> - {{ download.downloadcount }} Hits
</p>
{{/each}}
I'd like to be able to write something like [downloads] in the post content itself (which is simply rendered via {{{post.parsedBody}}}and replace it with a partial like the above one.
Is this possible or do you have a better way to achieve this?
This does not really look achievable by using either outlet or yield, since the post content will not be interpreted by the render engine.
What should be working though is to have the placeholder in your content just as you mentioned it, and replace it by some identifiable HTML placeholder in your post.parsedBody.
You could then create a View on didInsertElement, and call that view's appendTo() method to render the downloads inside the placeholder.
One could say writing some jquery-ish elements also works, but I think inserting arbitrary elements in the views tree is horrible and goes against the Ember way of managing views tree.
Cheers!
Got a very particular problem here:
I've been developing a tumblr-hosted site locally, using the API to pull in posts without having to copy and paste the project into tumblr a million times. I decided I liked the API better and would just use that in production, but now that it's time to deploy I realize that I have to go back to the custom theme, {block:Posts} method.
I have the post feeding into a Cycle2 slideshow, with 3 slides containing 3 posts each for a total of 9 playlists viewable without going back to the archive. This method works perfectly with the api, but is getting messed up in the custom theme. Here's my current code:
<div class="cycle-slideshow">
{block:Posts}
{block:Text}
<div class="slide-wrapper">
<div class="post">
{block:Post1}
{block:Title}<h2>{Title}</h2>{/block:Title}
<div class="blog_item">
{Body}
</div>
{/block:Post1}
</div>
<!--two more posts before end of slide... -->
</div>
{/block:Text}
{/block:Posts}
</div> <!--end of slide wrapper - 2 more of these before end of slideshow div..
I also tried scrapping the post numbers, but still no dice. In tumblr's docs, they say that
Example: {block:Post5}I'm the fifth post!{/block:Post5} will only be rendered on the fifth post being displayed.
I'm wondering if "being displayed" refers to the html visibility of the post, and if so, if that's interfering with the cycle plugin? The results are one ill-formatted post per slide, and then after cycling through 2 blank slides, the next oldest post takes its place. I'll be pleasantly surprised if anybody has ever had a similar problem but I would kill for some advice. Here's the development site for reference (and the second carousel is working because it's still hooked up to the api). thanks!!
Generally speaking, the following code is what you'd want to have 3 slideshows with 3 posts each.
Note that in the Additional Settings on the Customize screen, you'd have to set the post count to 9 per page in order for this to work properly. I wrapped it in an Index Page block, otherwise this is going to look nasty on a Permalink Page.
{block:IndexPage}
{block:Posts}
{block:Post1}<div class="cycle-slideshow">{/block:Post1}
{block:Post4}<div class="cycle-slideshow">{/block:Post4}
{block:Post7}<div class="cycle-slideshow">{/block:Post7}
<div class="slide-wrapper">
{block:Text}
<div class="post">
{block:Title}<h2>{Title}</h2>{/block:Title}
<div class="blog_item">
{Body}
</div>
</div>
{/block:Text}
{block:Photo}
...
{/block:Photo}
...
</div>
{block:Post3}</div>{/block:Post3}
{block:Post6}</div>{/block:Post6}
{block:Post9}</div>{/block:Post9}
{/block:Posts}
{/block:IndexPage}
However, if you're wanting 3 slideshows with the post types split between the slideshows, the code would look more like the following.
Note that in this scenario, if you were to have 4 texts posts out of 9, all 4 text posts would end up in the Text slideshow. You'd have to use Javascript or CSS to remove or hide the additional posts if you're very strict about your 3.
{block:IndexPage}
<div class="cycle-slideshow">
{block:Posts}
{block:Text}
<div class="slide-wrapper">
<div class="post">
{block:Title}<h2>{Title}</h2>{/block:Title}
<div class="blog_item">
{Body}
</div>
</div>
</div>
{/block:Text}
{/block:Posts}
</div>
<div class="cycle-slideshow">
{block:Posts}
{block:Photo}
<div class="slide-wrapper">
...
</div>
{/block:Photo}
{/block:Posts}
</div>
{/block:IndexPage}
If you need me to clarify anything, let me know.
I'm trying to develop a reporting system using Django. I have to display reports about various categories of data.I have put each category as a tab-tab1,tab2, etc. Is it possible to have different template for each tab without having to change the url.
I have tried template inheritance but that requires have separate url for each tab.
My concern is that if the number of tabs grow, then the number of urls will also increase.
Any suggestions please?
Thanks in Advance.
Why is it a problem for the number of URLs to increase?
Presumably you don't need separate URLconf entries for each tab, you can just capture the tab name in the URL and send it on to the view:
url(r'^reports/(?P<tab_name>\w+)/$', views.reports, name='reports')
...
def reports(request, tab_name):
... do something depending on tab_name ...
You can just use {% include %} tag and include different templates.
And I think it's better to have unique URL for each tab, it least with hashtag.
You can use a library like jquery tabs to create the tabs, then load each template individually either through include as suggested by #DrTyrsa or by a custom template tag (which would be my personal preference).
Here is an example (from the excellent bootstrap framework from twitter):
<ul class="tabs">
<li class="active">Home</li>
<li>Profile</li>
<li>Messages</li>
<li>Settings</li>
</ul>
<div class="pill-content">
<div class="active" id="home">...</div>
<div id="profile">...</div>
<div id="messages">...</div>
<div id="settings">...</div>
</div>
<script>
$(function () {
$('.tabs').tabs()
})
</script>
I am trying to create a dynamic filtered drop down choice fields,i gone through below blog but it confusing,can any one suggest easy way to do this in django.
I'm trying to create a dynamically filtered dropdown Choice field in Django. I've tried the steps outlined here, but I don't understand it.
How do I create a filtered Dropdown Choice field in Django using ajax?
You can use dajaxproject (django+ajax). Example: http://www.dajaxproject.com/forms/ It's so easy.
Maybe you mean something like this?
http://code.google.com/p/django-ajax-selects/
I have this implemented in a couple of projects, and it's working well. If you are looking for a kind of search form for foreign keys, have a look at an app I started some weeks ago:
https://github.com/schneck/django-foreignkeysearch
I only had a small array of drop down choices I needed to display, so I chose to be lazy and not to go the Ajax route but rather used the initial example provided in the blog (his prototype). This will slow down rendering the page if you have many drop-down choices, which I do not have.
The way it worked for me was that I replaced the array:
modelstxt[1] = "1\tEscort\n2\tTaurus";
modelstxt[2] = "1\tAltima\n2\tMaxima";
With template tags that will create the same array while building the page (note I use locations and areas, not models and makes):
areastxt[0] = "0\t--";
{% for location in locations %}
areastxt[{{location.id}}] = "0\t--
{% for area in areas %}
{% if area.location_id == location.id %}
\n{{area.id}}\t{{area.name}}
{% endif %}
{% endfor %}";
{% endfor %}
Disclaimer: I am noob'ish, so I may be committing a noob faux-pas using this approach.
I would like to add a tool link at the top of my admin change_list.html, which I have already done, and have this link basically be able to produce some sort of printable document version of my models data based off of my current filter settings. Basically a print button in the admin change_list.html.
so far I have overridden the change_list.html to create the link, and I notice that this
<li>
<a href="{{ choice.query_string|iriencode }}" class="addlink">
{% blocktrans %}View PDF{% endblocktrans %}
</a>
</li>
gives you a link based on these choices.. but Im kinda lost as to the best/easiest way to do this..
Sorry, new to Django. I know I can use ReportLabs to generate pdfs, but not a 100% on how to get the filtered data from change_list to it.
